When i try connecting to xbox live it always gets passed the "Cables Connected" stage and then the "IP Settings Configured" stage but then it always says "DNS not resolved".

My computer connects to the internet through a wireless router and my xbox is connected to my computer through a crossover/ethernet cable. I have tried almost every combination for the DNS settings but none will work. How can i fix this DNS error?

Try restarting you mode, and router! If that do not work...connect you xbox directly to a modem, and than disconnect and put all cables back (try re-connecting to router)! Hope that helps…worked for me!

yeahh i tried restrating my modem and everything.....i unplugged then restarted my internet connection.....it still didn't work.....there must be a problem with my settings or the settings on my computer.

Go into the IP settings on your computer and write down the DNSnumbers that your working internet connection on your computersees. Then also check the WAN config page of your wirelessrouter, which you should be able to access from the computerweb browser, and see if the DNS numbers match on that page.

Then finally on your XBOX MS dashboard, goto untilthe network settings, and manually config the DNS settingsto the ones you wrote down, or the ones from WAN configpage of your wireless router.

Also make sure you update to the latest dashboard, as themoer recent ones like 5960, support "wireless" operation.

I hope you realize that: 1) this thread is over 7 years old, 2) your link is for the 360 but this thread is in regards to the original Xbox (before the 360 was ever released), and 3) Xbox Live no longer exists for the original Xbox.
